I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don't mind breaking stuff.

if there's a Kali Nethub kernel for it, you can tuen it into a portable pentesting tool (think flipper zero)

Edit: nethunter, not nethub, fuck autocorrect

That's a good idea, thanks!

I get that this is a spare phone, but do you have a specific need for root? I'd sort of recommend against it if possible, though I'm not sure if it's required for vanced and stuff

I want to have fun with Android that I have control of - that's it. Why would you recommend against, though?

Realistically it won't make a difference since you have an unlocked bootloader anyway and you won't be able to pass strong integrity with it unlocked regardless. It just makes using some apps a bit of a headache, but if you can deal with playing cat and mouse with safetynet fixes it's not really much of an issue.

As far as apps, I recommend the gappsmod to get the Pixel dialer features and AdAway as a baseline, but it really depends on what you want to do with the device.
